US president, Trump paid $130,000 to a porn star

U S president, Donald Trump may resign in disgrace over new revelations involving the president's hush-money payment to a porn star.

Earlier this morning, Trump claimed that a $130,000 hush-money payment to a porn star who claims to have been his mistress was an ordinary legal expense – part of the costs covered by a monthly retainer agreement between him and his longtime lawyer.

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who is now serving as a Trump legal adviser, revealed Wednesday night that Trump repaid Cohen – but didn't address the president's April 5 statement aboard Air Force One that he knew nothing about it.

He said Thursday on 'Fox & Friends' that Cohen's payment to Clifford 'wasn't for the campaign. It was to save their marriage,' referring to Donald and Melania Trump. 'I think he was trying to help the family. And for that, the man is being treated like some kind of villain.'

But in the same interview, he suggested that a bombshell claim from Daniels would have disastrous consequences for the president's political prospects. 

Cohen has said that he took out the $130,000 from his home equity line of credit to make the payment. And Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on April 5 that 'no,' he had no knowledge of the financial arrangement with Daniels.

He has claimed that Cohen made the payment on his own.

Cohen faces a criminal probe into his business affairs by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, including over the $130,000 payment, which he has called legal.  

Daniels has since sued Trump and Cohen claiming that the non-disclosure agreement she signed was invalid. 

Appearing Thursday morning on 'Fox & Friends,' Giuliani called Avenatti and Daniels 'stick-up artists' who are looking for a seven-figure payday.

He reacted to news that Avenatti had approached MSNBC with an idea for a legal program starring himself: 'The TV show he could get is – well, "Ambulance Chaser".'

And Giuliani reiterated that Trump 'didn't know the details of this until we knew the details of it, which was a couple weeks ago. Maybe not even a couple, maybe 10 days ago.'

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Fox News just minutes after Giuliani's appearance Thursday that she wouldn't expand on his explanation.

Giuliani told Hannity that the $130,000 payment was 'a very regular thing for lawyers to do.'

Daniels claims she had intercourse with Trump one time, in 2006, and they kept in touch afterward on the promise that he would try to secure her a spot as a contestant on his reality TV show, The Apprentice. 

Trump has denied the affair and previously denied having knowledge of the payment Cohen made to Daniels in exchange for her silence.'

Avenatti said Wednesday evening that Trump 'evidently has participated in a felony and there must be serious consequences for his conduct and his lies and deception to the American people.'

He again predicted that Trump will not make it until the end of his first term as a result of the dishonesty.

Avanatti in a Wednesday evening tweet doubled down, saying, 'We predicted months ago that it would be proven that the American people had been lied to as to the $130k payment and what Mr. Trump knew, when he knew it and what he did in

The revelations by Giuliani on Fox News became extra difficult for the White House to defend after he told The Washington Post that he spoke with Trump late Wednesday and that the president approved of his interview.

Nigerian man who impregnated his daughter says she seduced him

 Taiwo Oyelabi, a security guard in Obadore, Igando/Ikotun Local Council Development Area of Lagos has been arrested by the police after allegedly raping his daughter for seven months.

The 50-year-old reportedly impregnated the 21-year-old daughter while the incest lasted.
Oyelabi, while confessing to the crime, told newsmen that he slept with his daughter five times.

The native of Ejigbo, Osun State, said it was the daughter who tempted him into the act, adding that he was not responsible for the pregnancy.

He said, “Her mother and I separated when she and her twin sister were two years old. My sister took them to Cote D’Ivoire. Seven months ago, my sister sent her back to Nigeria.

“She started living with me. One day, I was relaxing at home when she suddenly grabbed me and forcefully kissed me. I tried to beat her, but I did not know what came over me; I had s*x with her.

“I went to a church and explained what happened to a pastor. He said some evil persons were after us and that I had to be prayerful. I slept with her five times. It was my landlord who reported the case to the police.

“I didn’t meet her as a virgin. She told me that she had a boyfriend who also slept with her. She said it was the boyfriend that impregnated her."

It was learnt that Oyelabi and the victim’s mother divorced when she was two-year-old.

Before the separation, they had had a set of twins together which included the victim.

It was learnt that Oyelabi’s younger sister took custody of the twins and she later travelled to Cote D’Ivoire with them.

It was gathered that the victim relocated to Nigeria about seven months ago and started living with her father.

It was said that some residents of Community Road, Obadore, where the suspect and his daughter lived, got wind of the incest and reported to the police.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, who paraded Oyelabi on Monday at the command headquarters in Ikeja, said the report was found credible after an undercover investigation was conducted.

The CP said people became suspicious of Oyelabi as he always took his daughter along whenever he was going for his night work.

Edgal said, “This strange behaviour attracted the attention of the community and they reported the case at the Igando Police Station on April 16, 2018. After a preliminary investigation at the division, the matter was transferred to the Gender Section of the state command on April 18 for in-depth investigation.

“The suspect had been having s*x with his daughter and the result of this unholy alliance is pregnancy. The suspect blamed the devil for his act.”

Edgal added that the suspect would be charged to the Special Court for S*x-al Offences in Ikeja.

Hundreds of parents kill their newborn girls in Pakistan over cultural preference for boys

Hundreds of dead newborn girls have been discovered dumped in garbage piles in Pakistan in the last one year amid a cultural preference for boys, it has emerged.

A total of 345 babies have been found dead in refuse heaps in Karachi, Pakistan's most populous city, since the beginning of 2017 with 99 per cent of them found to be girls, according to local reports.

In one horrifying case, a four-day-old was found dead with her throat slit. Another newborn was left on the steps of a mosque only to be stoned to death when a cleric assumed it was an 'illegitimate baby', a charity reported.

According to The News International, activists from the Chhipa Welfare Foundation said it had come across 93 such cases in Karachi with 70 in 2017 and 23 this year.

Child infanticide is a criminal offence in Pakistan and police say poverty and illiteracy are root causes, the report says.

However, Anwar Kazmi, from Karachi's Edhi Center charity, said the majority of cases of infanticide were the result of births out of wedlock.

He said girls born in this situation were being killed because of social stigma with boys more often protected by families.

He said: 'We have been dealing with such cases for years and there are a few such incidents which shook our souls as much. It left us wondering whether our society is heading back to primitive age.'

The News also points to an Oxford Institute of Population Ageing study that highlighted 'son preference' in Pakistan and said the country needed to address 'inequitable gender norms that uphold the perception that sons are more valuable than daughters'.

A police official is quoted as saying that they can only properly investigate the causes of such deaths once a complaint has been registered.

Last year, the official said, only one case of infanticide was reported to Karachi Police.

Another 8 yr-old girl raped to death in India

Asifa Bano - the eight-year-old Muslim girl who was raped and murdered in India 

 An eight-year-old girl has been found raped and murdered after being kidnapped from a wedding by a teenager in Etah, in India's Uttar Pradesh state.

The child had been attending the festivities with her parents, when 18-year-old Sonu Jatav lured her away to a nearby building, where he sexually abused her and strangled her, police said.

The horrific crime has further shaken India, which is still reeling from the shocking gang-rape and murder of another eight-year-old who was kidnapped and brutalized in a temple few days ago.

Jatav had been hired to help out at the wedding and is thought to have been familiar to the girl as they were from the same village.

He allegedly lured her away from the party at around 1.30am, and took her to an under-construction building nearby.

Her parents and others in the wedding party started looking for the girl shortly after and soon found Jatav, drunk and asleep, next to the child's body, NDTV reports. 

'The body of the girl was found in an under-construction house in the vicinity of the marriage venue.,' Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Chaurasia told FreePress Journal.

'A rope was found tied around the neck of the girl.' 

Local television channels showed the girl's relatives crying as her dead body was carried from the scene, covered in a white sheet. 

The incident took place just days after the mutilated body of rape victim Asifa Bano  was found in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir state.

Little Asifa was kidnapped by a Hindu gang trying to drive the Muslim nomadic herders -  to which she belonged - away from Jammu and Kashmir.

Police say the gang took her to a Hindu temple, where they kept her for three days, subjecting her to repeated sexual abuse, before killing her.

One of the men involved ordered another attacker to delay her murder so he could rape her one last time, police say. 

Eight men, including four police officers and a Hindu temple custodian, appeared in court yesterday, pleading not guilty to rape and murder.  

The temple custodian, retired public servant Sanji Ram, is accused of conspiring with four police officers, a friend, his son and a juvenile nephew to kill the girl and destroy crucial evidence. 

Disgust over the horrific crime led to protests in cities across India over the past few days, with anger fuelled by support for the accused initially shown by ministers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.

The protests have also focused on another rape incident allegedly involving a BJP lawmaker in the crime-ridden, most populous, poor northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

More rallies demanding action against rapists and violence against women were expected on Monday in the capital and Ahmedabad, the state capital of Modi's home state of Gujarat.

The national outrage over the Kathua case has drawn parallels with the massive protests that followed the gang rape and murder of a girl on a Delhi bus in 2012, which forced the then Congress-led government to enact tough new rape laws including the death penalty.

One of the men accused of involvement in the case is escorted by police at the District and Sessions court in Kathua on Monday

One of the eight on trial for Asifa's brutal rape and murder is temple custodian Sanji Ram, pictured arriving in court yesterday, who is accused of  inciting his nephew to abduct the child

Nairobian man who grew large breasts after sex with neighbour's wife recounts horrible ordeal

A Nairobian man, Mutua, 39, started growing breasts shortly after having sex with his neighbor’s wife. He confirmed this to The Nairobian in a report.

James Mutua, 39, had been told by the woman’s husband that he would be taught a haunting lesson if he crossed the red line.

He has since been watching breasts resembling those of the woman he slept with grow on his chest for the last six months. The hubby who issued the warning lived in the same village as Mutua.

Unlike normal breasts that have black nipples, Mutua’s are reddish and sagging like those of a lactating woman.

Said he;

“I have been living like this from 2015, and it all started after I slept with my neighbor’s wife back in the village where I was working,”

“I felt a sensation around the chest and before long the breasts started developing and became big, forcing me to wear a bra and baggy jackets,” revealed James Mutua who had failed to heed a warning issued by the neighbour.

A "prominent person in Makueni County, Eastern Kenya" who reportedly offered him a job as a farm manager had made him come in contact with the wife who successfully seduced him.

Mutua, one-time chef at a hotel in Westlands told The Nairobian that his services were terminated along with five others in early 2015 and shortly, he was selling fruits and vegetables within Westlands to sustain his family.

But that didn’t do go for long as a “prominent figure back home contacted me to work as farm manager. I had no option but to leave my family in the city,” says Mutua who says the chance gave him a financial lifeline that saw him open a shop that did not disappoint.

That was when the serpent that tempted Eve came to the garden

— the farm where he was the manager.

The woman in question, a neighbour’s wife, began becoming friendly whenever she found him doing rounds on the farm and his shop.

“One night in mid-2015, I returned home around 10pm but while approaching I saw someone standing near the door and upon moving closer I realised it was her (neighbour’s wife),” recalls Mutua, adding, “When I asked her what she was doing at night, she teased, asking if I’m afraid of women. We argued for a while before I allowed her in and she said she just wanted company.”

‘Chemical warfare’ never fails. Mutua had alcohol in the house and “when I started drinking, she requested to join me and I accepted. We drunk until past midnight when I told her to leave but she was hesitant saying that it was late.”

Mutua still recalls with blinding clarity the happenings that followed.

“We were seated far apart while drinking but she moved closer and started touching me. Before long she told me that the husband was far away in Nairobi and she wanted to have sex with me”.

Mutua did not fail his visitor on his matrimonial bed that night. And other chances that followed in his three bedroom house.  But honey can turn into a bee.

“She became aggressive and sometimes she could come and pick me in my mother’s house for sex,” says Mutua whose side mattress events were shortly discovered by his wife.

“In late 2015, I sent my wife Sh15,000 and directed her to deposit Sh10,000 in the bank and use the rest. Instead, she decided to travel to the village with kids to check on me,” he recalls.

That was when she was told about Mutua’s hanky-panky. She got mad but calmed down after he apologised profusely.

 Mutua claims that word having gone round about his promiscuity, he quit his job and returned to Nairobi but “days after arriving the woman’s husband called me and said he heard what happened but laughed off and swore to teach me a lesson for sleeping with his wife”.

Mutua’s sister who requested to be only identified as Liz told The Nairobian “it is true that someone bewitched him and he has confessed. We just want to see him back to his life again by all means”.

Nigerian referee beaten to coma by fans during football match in Imo

There was crisis on match-day 18 of the Nigerian Professional Football League as irate fans attacked a referee, beating him to coma. The incident took place yesterday, during the match between Heartland of Owerri and defending Champions, Plateau United.
The fans assaulted the referee to the point of coma and was admitted into hospital after the away side equalized. The match ended in a 1-1  draw as Tosin Omoyele scored the equalizer after Thompson put the home side ahead in the 21st minute.
Ikem Eric Ikeagwu shared the story on Facebook and wrote:

Quote

"Okay, I just finished watching Heartland vs Plateau United, by all fairness, the referee was unbiased. Then what happens next, the referee was beaten to coma right in my very own eyes. Heartland FC of owerri deserved to be banned from football for LIFE.. This action is barbaric and uncalled for. This is shear wickedness and ignorance.
"Let's pray for this referee and his assistants please. Now SARS are here, we're stalked in this stadium. Within two weeks, Heartland will be going to Plateau United, they should expect karma. Nigerian Professional Football League my foot."

Tension in Imo as abductions, ritual killings spread in communities

There is tension in Imo State presently following the resurgence of kidnapping and ritual killings of several residents of the state.

The latest to be kidnapped is the  former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in the state, Mr Alex Ogwazuo.
He was said to have been kidnapped while he was returning from a social function. Ogwazuo’s abduction came on the heels of the abduction and killing of a former local government chairman of Ideato South Local Government Area on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Livinus Alisigwe. Alisigwe was gruesomely murdered by his killers who beheaded him and amputated his legs and hands from his headless body before setting his residence ablaze. This was even as there were reports that the dead bodies of three siblings aged between two and five years, were found in a vehicle at Okwelle Onuimo Local Government Area of the state. The names of the deceased children were given as Saviour – 5; Salvation- 3 and Precious Nweke – 2. At Umuelele Irete in Owerri West Local Government Area, there was confusion as a lot of people wept openly, following the discovery of the bloated body of a 20-year-old footballer,   Chidubem Ezeagu, in the bush last month. Within the same period,  a 23-year- student of Imo State University, IMSU,  Miss Kelechi Ibe, was shot dead by unknown assailants. Miss Ibe,  an undergraduate of Banking and Finance, was killed while celebrating her birthday, just as a truck conductor in Onuimo Local Government Area, 20-year-old Ifeanyi Okafor, was shot dead by a police officer.

Commenting on the renewed killings, some residents who spoke with our correspondent in Owerri said that they now live under the fear of the unknown as they are no longer sure of their safety, and called for improved security situation in the state.

In his reaction, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, said  the police was doing all within its powers to reduce crime and criminality in the state. On the death of the three siblings, Enwerem said: “We received a report of three siblings who had gone missing; unfortunately, the boys were found dead in a stationary vehicle in the village by a search party.” Meanwhile, a suspected ritualist was caught doing incantation after he was said to have urinated into a vehicle in a car wash along Mann Street in Owerri.

2 siblings who blackmailed Reverend Sister with her sex tape arrested by police

Two siblings, Ngozi Nnabude, 46, and Uchenna Agagwaonye, 40, have been apprehended for using a sex tape to blackmail a Reverend Sister, Mary Okolo. The sext tape, according to a confessional statement by one of the suspects, was obtained from the Reverend Sisters laptop when she took it to a laptop repairer for servicing. “Video clips which showed the Reverend Sister’s nudity were seen in the laptop”, the statement read.

Speaking on the development, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal, explained that the suspects carried out the act in order to intimidate the nun who reportedly has a strict personality. “They conspired to put her under constant fear of imminent danger. "When the threat to maim, kidnap, kill and expose her unfounded secret sex life was continuous, Okolo reported the matter to the police.

"Investigation revealed that Agagwaonye’s job was to monitor Okolo and pass information gathered to her sister, Ngozi, who now called the Rev. Sister to tell her movement.

"She used to tell the nun such threat messages like: ‘I can see you, you are putting on this and type of clothes and shoe, you are in so and so place, you can’t hide from us and you will be killed soon," says the police commissioner.

One of the suspects, Agagwaonye, reiterated that the hardship endured under the Reverend Sister's firm hands encouraged a desire to blackmail her.

The goal was to make her pedal down.

Quote

“I have been teaching in that school for over 18 years. But Rev. Sister Okolo just joined us recently. I run a part time programme with University of Lagos. "Before I went for leave, I went through the normal application process, but when I resumed, she deducted N12,000 from my salary.

"Six months later, we had an argument and I was given a letter of suspension. "All these didn’t make me happy. “I don’t want to kidnap or kill her. I sent the messages to her so that she would calm down on her wickedness. I don’t even have any sex tape, but the laptop repairer whom she gave her laptop to fix, has video clips of her nudity,”

Uchenna Agagwaonye revealed during an interrogation.

Naked cleaning coy substitutes young women for middle-aged cadidates

A naked cleaning company is rejecting young, slender applicants because customers prefer middle-aged women.

The Naturist Cleaners has some 300 professionals on its books who are willing to scrub, dust and polish in the nude at homes across the UK.

The cleaners earn between £30 and £45 an hour and a strict 'no touching' policy is in place on all jobs.

Clients can request male or female cleaners of a range of ages, shapes and sizes - but it is women of an 'experienced age and fuller figure' who prove most popular.

Company founder Laura Smith said: 'We're like an agency, we have workers all across the country, from London to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

'Overall there has to be 300 nude cleaners, catering to all kinds of tastes. 

'The kind of people that use the service varies. It's not all men, we have females requesting male cleaners. Some people who call us think we offer "undercover services" but our rates are middle tier and reflect otherwise.'

She continued: 'We've had to turn some people down though - most of our customers prefer women of a more experienced age and fuller figure. Ones that show their years of cleaning experience.'

Ms Smith founded the company last year after originally setting out to launch a standard cleaning firm.

'[A customer] wanted a nude woman to clean his flat, so I asked one of the girls,' she explained. 'I saw a business opportunity and decided to go with it.'

The entrepreneur initially used social media to spread the word but it was eventually shut down because of its nude content. 

Ms Smith, who practises naturism, added: 'Our basic idea is that you should feel good about yourself no matter who you are, regardless of colour, age or weight.'

Cleaner Silva, 43, from London, said it was easy to transition from a standard agency to the Naturist Cleaners because she was a practising naturist.

She continued: 'I would recommend it if you are totally comfortable with your body, otherwise it can be quite nerve-wrecking.

'For our customers the service is "a great view". It makes me feel confident about my self, I feel empowered.'

Satisfied customers have left glowing reviews on the website, with one client calling it a 'wonderful, cool experience'.

Client Bob Harding said: 'Today I had a clothes-free cleaner - she arrived on time and got straight on with it. She was a very nice and friendly lady and did a perfect cleaning job.'

UNIMAID final yr female student raped, robbed and bathed with acid by tri-cyclists

the victim

A final year student of the Department of Nursing, College of Medicine, University of Maiduguri, Fatimah Abu, is in a critical condition at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Gwange, after she was reportedly robbed, raped and bathed with acid by suspected robbers.

The 24-year-old had boarded a tricycle at her school’s park on Friday en route to her residence when she was abducted by the men.

The two robbers allegedly took turns to rape her in a bush and poured chemicals on her body.

The chemicals reportedly caused blisters and burns on different parts of her skin.

Our correspondent learnt that the victim’s purse, containing her phone and some money, was taken away by the suspects, who dumped her by the roadside.

The victim, upon regaining consciousness, reportedly flagged down a tricycle rider, who took her to the Dandal Police Station.

The police then rushed her to the state specialist hospital, Maiduguri.

Mr Ibrahim Yusuf, her relative who confirmed the incident to said Fatima was kidnapped on Friday, when she entered a tricycle in front of First Bank where she had gone to deposit some cash.

“As soon as he touched her face with the handkerchief, she passed out, only to find herself dumped at the Railway Bayan Quarters area, bathed with a substance suspected to be acid around 1pm.
